Sometimes Curiosity DOES lead to sin. For example, what is sex like, what does the opposite gender look like and so on.

I would have to say he didn't define it as a sin because we can do good with it. How would we get the technology we have today without curiosity. I say curiosity is good as long as you watch what your curious about.

Curiosity is not a sin. Sin is a made up word and only applies to religious belief. Sex is a natural thing. All animals do it. However it is common sense to know that promiscuity can cause disease and often heartache not to mention a bad reputation. Adultery can cause disease and heartache for all those involved. Premarital sex can cause disease and can cause one to mistake lust for love thus causing some people to get married when they really should not. Very often when one falls truly and deeply in love and has a good healthy relationship they often will wish that some of their past sexual experiences never happened. In true love sex can be so beautiful that all those others pail in comparison. I am an Atheist. I do not need the threat of committing a sin to keep me from doing what is best.

Because Curiosity also leads to scientific advancement, and exploration, and generally the betterment of mankind. If a quality can be either good or bad it can't just be blanketed as a sin.

Because curiosity itself isn't a sin. It can be an occasion of sin, but there are plenty of things that it is perfectly moral to be curious about.
If you are really curious what sex is like, you can wait until you are married, and then your curiosity will be satisfied. It isn't the curiosity itself that is sinful. You just have to understand when it is permitted to do something versus when it isn't. But who isn't curious about sex? Even people who are chaste and have never fornicated are still curious about it. So curiosity itself can't be sinful.

that is real that the sin devoted by Adam and Eve replaced into technically disobedience. yet evaluate the character of the guideline that replaced into broken. God intentionally creates, and explicitly factors out a tree that bears fruit which, while eaten, magically imparts wisdom of stable and evil. Then he states that in case you devour from it, you will die. he's creating an exceedingly sparkling fact right here. do not indulge your interest as to what motivates my proclamations. I come to a determination what's stable and evil, and you only obey. do not have confidence your extreme faculties. have confidence me. in accordance with this, i don't understand the form you will possibly desire to get away the top that god does certainly oppose the unfastened use of our brains.

Being curious doesn't mean you have to act on the curiousity. And it does NOT always lead to sin, as you imply, only rarely.
Without curiousity, would you have that cell phone you dote upon, your air conditioning, store bought clothing, your computer? Your life as you know it? The answer is NO - so then, is the entirity of your life a sin?

I was raised athiest, and I never heard of sins until I was 12 years old. At that point in time, I had never gotten in trouble, but then after hearing about this guy named jesus, who has been dead for many many many many days, and automatically he's the one who runs my life. That's why i stopped believing in false things. I grew up reading about life, and gained common sense at a young age.
Around 15 I learned that sins are non-existent. I figure, if someone is a HUMAN they should act and live like a human, not a religious robot.

curiosity can lead to sin, depending on the heart/mind which weilds it. It can also lead to polio vaccine, electromagnetic turbans, and the like.

because I'm curious in what the Bible says, and I don't think that's a bad thing. curiosity and thirst for knowledge is not bad, it's only the pursuit (and action) of other bad things that some would classify as "sin"
